Sealing sleeve for pipe offsets

Sealing inner sleeve for inserting into axially offset pipes, comprising:

• two bent-round sleeves formed of steel sheets, said bent-round sleeves having inner and outer surfaces and being frustoconical in the form of a truncated cone which is frustoconical on the inner surface and frustoconical on the outer surface and are arranged in such a way that smaller openings of the two sleeves are located opposite of each other,
• the two sleeves being unconnected with each other,
• wherein the steel sheets of the sleeves include free ends that overlap in overlapping areas in circumferential directions thereof,
• an arresting device arranged in each of these overlapping areas which permits expansion of the sleeves to an expanded configuration and which retains the sleeves in the expanded configuration, and
• a deformable jacket tube in which the two sleeves are arranged at a distance from one another, the jacket tube being formed as a wound jacket tube with areas overlapping in the circumferential direction of the jacket tube and being in direct contact with the sleeves when expanded,
• a tubular sealing element covering the jacket tube, and
• annularly extending sealing ribs arranged in an area of opposite free ends at an outer circumference of the tubular sealing element.
